In contrast to terrestrial animals, fish can ingest minerals from food or directly from water. Although micro- and macro-elements are needed in small quantities, they play a key role in many metabolic processes. Trace mineral and macromineral deficiencies may go unnoticed due to an absence of clear clinical symptoms in fish. Absorption processes are determined by various factors, mostly mineral concentrations in water but also other water parameters. The required dietary supplementation of macronutrients and micronutrients is very difficult to determine, and the amount of nutrients absorbed by fish from water is equally difficult to measure. Interactions between elements should also be taken into consideration. Many authors emphasize that phosphates may reduce the absorption of most micronutrients. Also, the current parameters of the water can affect the bioavailability. Some elements such as calcium, chlorine and sodium can be absorbed from ambient water in a quantity sufficient to meet the demand for this element. Other elements, however, require supplementation in a diet. For example, studies indicate the need for supplementation of phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese. Most research concentrates on feedstuff as a source of micro- and macronutrients. Meanwhile, information concerning bioavailability of minerals directly from water is scarce. The aim of this study was to analyse literature from a different perspective, and concentrate on water as a source of minerals in fish nutrition. Measurements of water parameters such as temperature, pH, nitrate and nitrite levels and the amount of dissolved oxygen are a regular component of environmental control in fish farming. Determination of micro- and macro-element levels, however, remains uncommon in aquaculture. Measurements of these parameters could suggest which elements need to be supplemented and which are found in water in amounts that satisfy the needs of the fish.
The aim of the study was to present the history of ichtyopathology in Poland and the main achievements of researchers who developed this discipline. The pioneer of ichtyopathological research in Poland was the ichtyologist prof. Teodor Spiczakov, founder of the first Fish Diseases Laboratory at the Jagiellonian University (JU) and initiator of fishery veterinary service. After the Second World War, dr Stanisław F. Śnieszko, a researcher from JU, established a laboratory in the United States, renamed the National Fisheries Center in 1977. In writing about the beginnings of ichthyopathology in Poland, one must also mention prof. Bronisław Kocyłowski, founder and head of the Department of Fish Diseases at PIW in Puławy and lecturer at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS) and Maria Curie Skłodowska University in Lublin. Prof. Eugeniusz Grabda also contributed to the development of ichtyopathology. He headed the Inland Fisheries Institute (IFI), Fish Disease Laboratory and the Department of Ichthyology with the Department of Fish Diseases at the Fishery Department of the Academy of Agriculture and Technology (AAT) in Olsztyn and co-founded the Department of Marine Fisheries at the Agricultural Academy and the Department of Fish Diseases in Szczecin. In Żabieniec near Warsaw, IFI established a new Ichtiohygiene Division, renamed the Division of Pathology and Fish Immunology, formerly headed by prof. Maria Studnicka and now by prof. Andrzej K. Siwicki. Veterinary inspection in Poland is conducted by the Fish Diseases Laboratory at ZHW under the substantive supervision of the National Veterinary Research Institute & National Reference Laboratories at Fish Diseases Unit in Puławy, headed by prof. Jerzy Antychowicz. Currently the Unit is the National Reference Laboratory for the diagnostics of diseases of aquaculture animals, run by prof. Michal Reichert. Prof. J. Antychowicz and dr. Jan Żelazny taught for many years at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the WULS in Warsaw and at AAT in Olsztyn. The Polish Academy of Sciences has a Department of Ichtiopatology and Fishery Management in Gołysz, headed by prof. Andrzej Pilarczyk, who studies the biological basis of fish farming. “Fish diseases” is a mandatory subject at faculties of veterinary medicine in Poland, and every graduate of veterinary medicine possesses a basic knowledge in this field. The Division of Fish Diseases and Biology in Lublin has been operating since 1963 and for many years was headed by prof. Maria Prost, an authority on the parasitology of fish. The current head of the Division is prof. Antonina Sopińska. The Division of Hygiene Veterinary Laboratory and Fish Diseases Laboratory (later Division of Ichtyopathology) at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Wrocław University af Environmental and Life Sciences were previously headed by prof. Zbigniew Jara, and now by dr Wiktor Niemczuk. At the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, prof. Andrzej K. Siwicki and dr Elżbieta Terech-Majewska run the Fish Disease Laboratory and Veterinary Laboratory for Diagnostics of Fish, Amphibians and Reptiles, carry out scientific research, teach and cooperate with fish farmers.
European eel Anguilla anguilla L. is a fish species highly valued in European fisheries, currently reared under controlled conditions (Aquatic Recirculation System – RAS). In order to protect the health of fish, regular check-ups are carried out in specialized veterinary laboratories. Health hazards are recognized on the basis of clinical, pathological, microbiological, and parasitological surveys. The aim of the study was to analyze the results of health assessment of eels reared under controlled conditions, which was performed in the Diagnostics Laboratory of Fish and Crayfish Diseases, Department of Veterinary Hygiene, Voivodeship Veterinary Inspectorate in Olsztyn, in the period from 2010 to 2014. The results are presented according to the etiologic agents, divided into bacterial and parasitic diseases. In this period, 73 samples (100%) were examined, including 5 samples (6.85%) from glass eels and 68 (93.15%) from elvers. Microorganisms isolated from the collected material were mainly conditionally pathogenic, such as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Aeromonas hydrophila, Shewanella putrefaciens, Aeromonas sobria, Flavobacterium spp., and Chryseobacterium indologenes. The parasitological examination revealed infection with Trichodina spp., Ichthyophtirius multiphilliis, and Pseudodactylogyrus spp. The most frequently diagnosed were gill monogeneans, detected in 34 cases (75.55% of all positive parasitological test results). In 21 cases (61.8%) the infestation manifested itself as a disease. The remaining 13 cases were asymptomatic carriers (38.2%). The analysis shows that the main problem in the controlled rearing of eel are parasitic infestations, which may be endemic and pose a constant threat. Systematic monitoring and preventive measures are necessary throughout the rearing and fattening of fry to maintain a good health status of eels.
Due to the wide range of distribution, tendency to stationary persistence and high susceptibility of salmonid fish, vaccination against yersiniosis is an important part of prophylactic programs in many trout farms. The use of autovaccines prepared on the basis of isolates from a given fish farm is considered to be more effective than the use of commercial preparations. The aim of the study was to analyze cases of the disease in 2015 and to try to explain the failure of implemented prophylactic program based on autovaccination. Y. ruckeri strains isolated from one fish farm, from disease outbreaks in 2006, 2008 and 2015, as well as strains used for vaccine production were analyzed. Biotype evaluation, biochemical properties using API 20E assays, serotyping, and molecular identification were performed. All analyzed strains belonged to biotype 2. Two different profiles were obtained in API 20E tests. The first was obtained for vaccine strains and from disease cases in 2006 and 2008. The second was obtained for the strain isolated from the disease case in 2015. None of the profiles have been interpreted as Y. ruckeri in the APIweb. The identification of bacteria was confirmed by PCR. Disease strains and two vaccine strains belonged to the O1 serotype. Two of the vaccine strains have been qualified as O5 serotype. The obtained results indicate that the disease outbreak in 2015 was due to the emergence of a strain with increased pathogenicity and the use of an autovaccine based on strains belonging to the O5 serotype, considered to be less pathogenic. Immunization with the use of the O5 serotype does not provide complete protection against infection with other serotypes, so that fish remained susceptible to O1 serotype, which caused the disease in 2015. The results suggest the need for extending the diagnostics of strains used for the production of autovaccines.
